Tool to test and troubleshoot pc hardware.

Hi,

I'm looking for a good tool to test memory, hard disk, etc. Is there a good one you can recommend for Windows tech?

Thanks

In addition to the above suggestion, see if your computer manufacturer has a test application. Lenovo has such an application and I think HP and Dell do as well. These are good because they are for your specific hardware.

I agree with the above suggestion for memtest86.exe for testing memory.

Then get the hard drive or SSD drive test tool from the drive manufacturer. These are for the specific hardware as well.

Is memtest can be boot from USB? By the way is for Z210 HP desktop...

 I got a blue screen during Windows installation... so this is not Windows issue but hardware. I had just have time to see the err quickly and there is something about memory.
Yes, you can make a bootable USB key for memtest86. You may need Rufus to make the key. Follow the documentation on the memtest website
>>  Is memtest can be boot from USB?   <<  better ; read my post, you can run the UBCD from usb
***i Always use memtest86+ i find it better
